DIVIAFranklin International Core Dividend Tilt Index ETF

DWMBWisdomTree International Equity Fund

In short

DIVI A tilt, not a screen: DIVI optimizes a broad developed-markets ex-North America index toward higher yield while limiting drift from that parent. Core international shape, income lean, 0.09% a year.

DWM A 2006 original: a dividend screen thrown across developed markets outside the US and Canada, landing on roughly 1,300 names rather than a short high-yield shortlist.

Stated mandate

DIVI The Fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the Morningstar Developed Markets ex-North America Dividend Enhanced Select Index. Its index methodology seeks higher dividend yield than the parent index while maintaining core exposure to developed markets outside North America.

DWM The fund seeks to track an index of dividend-paying companies in developed markets outside the United States and Canada.

Why people hold it

  • DIVI Costs 0.09% a year, while the median fund in its international-dividend cohort charges closer to 0.50%.
  • The index takes a broad developed ex-North America benchmark and optimizes it for higher yield while limiting expected tracking error to that parent. Income lean, core shape.sec.gov
  • Tracks its index closely, among the strongest implementations in its peer group.
  • A multi-billion-dollar fund holding about 80 developed-market names, paying distributions quarterly.
  • DWM Live since 2006, with the same job description the whole time: dividend-paying companies in developed markets outside the US and Canada.wisdomtree.com
  • Roughly 1,300 holdings is a wide net, closer to owning the developed-market dividend payers wholesale than to a concentrated yield list.
  • Hugs its stated benchmark, the WisdomTree International Equity Index, about as closely as anything in its peer group.wisdomtree.com
  • 0.48% a year sits just under the median fee for international dividend funds, and it distributes on a quarterly schedule.

Worth knowing

  • DIVI The tilt is mild by design: the index caps how far it can drift from its parent, so it reaches for less yield than funds built on hard high-yield screens.sec.gov
  • Cheaper options sit in the same cohort (VYMI at 0.07%, SCHY at 0.08%), so the fee edge is over the category median, not over the largest index shops.
  • Today's strategy dates to 2022, when the fund was renamed from Franklin LibertyQ International Equity Hedged ETF, so its 2016-onward record covers a different mandate.sec.gov
  • DWM The fee is the sore spot in the neighborhood: VYMI charges 0.07% and SCHY 0.08%, so the broad net here comes at a real markup.
  • Thinly traded next to the category's giants, which puts more weight on limit orders and a glance at the spread before you deal.
  • No US or Canadian stocks by design, and no currency hedge in the mandate, so it behaves like one sleeve of a portfolio rather than the whole thing.wisdomtree.com
